In planting these Bearing Age Raspberries it 
is important to cut the tops back to within 10 
or 12 inches of the ground. This may reduce 
the quantity of fruit produced the first year 
but at the same time it will assure you of a 
good substantial growth so necessary to es- 
tablishing the plant for future production.

FACTORS INFLUENCING 
The Early Bearing of Small Fruit Plants 
4. Loose, loamy, well-drained soils rich in humus 



1. Set out plants as free from disease as possible. 
At all times dig out and burn any plants which are 
distinctly unhealthy. This does not apply to leaf spot 
or anthracnose on the leaves which may be controlled 
by spraying. (See spray recommendation for the 
various plants on other pages of this catalog.) 
2, Keep your plantings in good culture by frequent 
stirring of the soil, and free from weeds and grass. 
3. Top dress with an abundance of nitrogen ferti- 
lizers in early Spring—checking growth in early 
August. Oats is often planted between the rows at 
that time as a cover crop. 
are best for all berry plants; a northerly slope is 
desirable but not a necessity. Avoid low ground and 
frost pockets. 
5. Set out varieties adapted to your locality. Most 
of our catalog descriptions cover this point. 
6. The Everbearing varieties of Raspberries and 
Strawberries will usually produce some fruit the first 
Autumn after planting. 
7. At all times follow good cultural practices. Many 
of these are listed briefly in this catalog and in our 
“Successful Planting’ booklet which is mailed with 
each order.
